<u>Acceleration</u> is the rate at which <u>velocity</u> changes.
Answer:
Approximately
(given that the magnitude of this charge is
.)
Explanation:
If a charge of magnitude
is placed in an electric field of magnitude
, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be
.
The magnitude of this charge is
. Apply the unit conversion
:
.
An electric field of magnitude
would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:
.
Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
In this problem we have the electric field intensity E:
E = 6.5 ×
newtons/coulomb
We have the magnitude of the load:
q = 6.4 ×
coulombs
We also have the distance d that the load moved in a direction parallel to the field 1.2 ×
meters.
We know that the electric potential energy (PE) is:
PE = qEd
So:
PE = (6.4 ×
)(6.5 ×
)(1.2 ×
)
PE = 5.0 x
joules
None of the options shown is correct.
Answer:
The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.
Explanation:
The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.
The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.
The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates
, and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.
